I tried a search on this exact scope but didn't find anything. Found this for clearance at Cabela's -- Athlon Cronus FFP 1-6X in MIL or MOA, MIL has exposed elevation turret, MOA has capped turret. Looks like a discontinued model. Anybody tried one of these? Opinion/experience?
Rifle Scopes Athlon Cronus FFP 1-6x MIL

I tested the FFP mrad version a while back. I liked it a fair bit. They are well made scopes with really solid optical and mechanical quality. At 1x, the illumination could be brighter, but it worked well enough in anything but the brightest light.
I ended up sticking with the Burrsi XTR II 1-8x24 which I liked a touch more, but if you foudn a good deal, FFP Athlon is a really solid option.

We have a few as new, never mounted, open box demo units of the Cronus BTR 1-6x24 SFP - ATSR2 SFP IR MOA for only $899.99
Definitely let us know what you think of it. I love mine. I think you’ll be very happy!
Scope arrived. Feels hefty. The most surprising feature is that the elevation dial has 50 mils in 2.5 turns, I can’t say I have ever held a scope that has that much dial in it.
Optically it appears decent, will need some range time to actually tell. Reticle is usable at both 1x and 6x. I will test it side by side against sig tango6, zeiss conquest v6 and vortex razor gen ii e, all in 1-6x. Prelimiary conclusion — it is definitely worth the asking price at Cabela’s with the 10% off and gift card discount. It didn’t wow me like the first time I looked through a vortex razor gen ii, but it is not a $1400 scope either.
Clicks are audible and well defined. Not Kahles well-defined but almost. Tactical turrets for both elevation and windage.

We are down to 1 more of the never mounted, open box demo units of this Cronus BTR 1-6x24 SFP - ATSR2 SFP IR MOA for only $899.99. At this price it is a best buy for sure
Maybe you can start a different thread about the scope you are selling? This thread is specifically for the discontinued FFP version that is on clearance at Cabela’s with MSRP of $1299.
